Our research showed “tattoos” was one of the top searched words on the internet. With the growing popularity (statistics show figures as high as 30% of people in Europe and the USA having tattoos) and up to 70% of 16 – 30 yr old Melbournians, considering getting one in the next 5 years* it was a subject that had worldwide appeal.

Tattooing is also an industry that is going through many changes, from the ownership of studios to the technologies used.

Tattooink.tv is more than just a website – we are an online tv station, an entertainment platform where we film ALL our own content and are creating a virtual one-stop-shop where anyone who has an interest in Tattoo or Body Art, logs on to first.

We spent 6 months researching and sourcing the most up to date technologies, to ensure our viewers and advertsers are provided with only the best. We are still in development stages and are fine tuning our site.

With an ever increasing audience logging in from not only around Australia, but nearly every country in the world, we provide an opportunity like no other.

Since Launching in Sydney in March 2009 and utilising old school marketing techniques, tattooink.tv is producing outstanding results.
